Downy mildew is a serious fungal disease in non-heading Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris ssp. chinensis Makino) that is caused by Hyaloperonospora parasitica, which infects members of the Brassicaceae family. For breeding improvement, researchers must understand the defence mechanisms employed by non-heading Chinese cabbage to combat H. parasitica infection. Using 2-DE protein analysis, we compared the proteomes from leaves of non-heading Chinese cabbage seedlings that were infected with H. parasitica or that were only treated with water at different time points post-infection. By MS analysis, 91 protein spots with significant differences in abundance (>. 2-fold, p Source
